Summary: You need a reference guide to make sense of this book!
Comment: It's been 10 years since I earned my physics BS, and all that knowledge has faded a bit. I wanted a book that could sit on my bookshelf at work that would have summary information that covered the gamut of physics: from simple mechanics to E&M and quantum. If this is also what you wanted, then this is not the book for you. This book is badly organized, the information it presents is badly laid out, and there are surprisingly few illustrations. That's not to say it's all bad. If the world were about to end and you could only take a few books with you on the spaceship you constructed from recycled aluminum cans and bottle rockets, then this book would probably be one to take. Just make sure you bring along H&R and other familiar texts to make sense of it.

Summary: Excellent, compact, handy reference
Comment: I'm a tech writer and programmer with a physics background. This reference is perfect for me. The formulas and constants are accessible and useful. The book is well-organized and packs all the info I need in 200 pages. If you don't want to lug the CRC around, try this book.
